[Review] Mizu Shell Case
Proporta, known for many different accessories for mobiles such as the Apple iPhone, accessories for the iPod range and laptops/netbooks, have produced a
shell case for the HTC Hero, which we have received for review. First impressions of the case are that it’s hard rubber/plastic, and see-through. It’s got some texture to it, but seems nice.
The design of the Mizu Shell Case seems very nice after a few days of use, and offers a really nice bit of protection for your Hero.
The case seems to show a lot of holes, these are perfectly aligned for the different parts of the phone, for instance the loud-speaker, lanyard attachment, camera, headphone jack & volume rocker. On the bottom of the case it also gives access to the Extended-MiniUSB port and microphone hole.

Sony Rolly Review
It dances better than I do
It spins, swirls, throws its arms in the air and moves to the music. All this, from an egg. The Sony Rolly is, without doubt, one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen. I say thing because it is hard to categorise the Rolly. It could be called an mp3 player, as it has almost 2GB of memory onboard to save music. It could also be called a speaker, as the Bluetooth syncs the Rolly with anything from a phone to laptop with which to play your music through. It is also a strange shape that dances. So what is it?
Sony calls it a ‘new dimension mp3’ player that brings you closer to your music. It’s true that the Rolly is something different. The speaker quality is incredible for its size, with flawless playback over Bluetooth. The dancing in time to the music isn’t just novelty, and if you put it somewhere dark, it has a very impressive light display while it moves and dances perfectly in time to the music.
Out of the box, the Rolly comes with software to choreograph the dance moves. Although this is pretty cool at first, the time taken making sure the Rolly dances the way you want in no way compares to whatever feeling of pride you feel after playing dance coordinator. The Rolly dances fine on its own.
